- The Seahawks face the Raiders on Oct. 14 at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium;

From the perspective of mid-April, these have the makings of four really good games, something that hasn't always been the case in this series. And the Eagles-Jaguars get-together, which features the defending Super Bowl champions and the AFC Conference Championship Game participants, is in the running for best matchup in International Series history.

If you're a fan of one of these teams, some good news: Four of the eight teams that played in the 2017 International Series went on to win their division last season: The Jags, the Saints, the Vikings and the Rams. Also noteworthy: Each of those teams won their international game.
